Blue Ribbon Recipe

These brownie bites are easy to prepare and would be a great Valentine's Day activity to do with kids and grandkids. The coffee powder adds an extra rich flavor and brings out the chocolate. We love the cooling and sweet flavor peppermint extract adds to the brownies. Top it off with creamy frosting (a homemade recipe or your favorite store-bought) and sprinkles for a festive treat.

Ingredients

1 box your favorite brownie mix (plus oil and eggs per package directions)

1 teaspoon peppermint extract *optional*
- cookie cutters

How To Make semi-homemade valentine mocha brownie bites

Step 1

Prep ingredients as directed on the box EXCEPT add the 2 Tbsp of instant coffee to the water.

Step 2

Add vanilla extract and peppermint extract (if using). Combine all ingredients and mix well.
Step 3

Bake as directed on the box.
Step 4

Once baked and completely cooled, carefully remove from pan trying to keep in one piece (but don't worry if it breaks. The brownies can be pressed back together)
Step 5

Freeze for about an hour or so, until firm enough to use a cookie cutter to cut out brownie bites. Just like sugar cookies, the brownies pieces can be pressed back together to continue cutting out shapes.
Step 6

Once all the brownies are cut, decorate with melted chocolate, sprinkle with powdered sugar, or frost with your favorite icing.
